I like the concept, here's a few questions!
I've been looking at setting up soil monitors for my garden, although I'm wanting them to report to Home Assistant. I'd prefer a Zigbee or Z-Wave monitor, but it seems bluetooth or rolling your own seems to be the way to go right now.

The device is rain-resistant, but nothing fancy.
It's wall powered.
It doesn't use LAN/PAM. Instead, a local config and IR controller is used to modify paramaters. However, you could code this in.
